hope. Has anyone had this experience?

Don't lose hope, as I mentioned on another post it took me at least 4 to 5 weeks to start feeling better. Also remember that feelings of hopelessness are a symptom of your depression, these feelings will improve with time.

I was on Venlafaxine which worked for over ten years! Last year it suddenly stopped working and then my GP tried various drugs including doubling the venlafaxine . . But nothing worked. I was on 15 mg of Mirtazapine but it too stopped working after about 2 months. I think with me that there have been so many drugs that don't work that I have been sceptical over this one. However, I am now feeling more optimistic. I do hope it works for you too. Let me know. Thanks again for taking the trouble to write.

When I first started Mirt after a few days I did feel better but was due to being able to sleep and eat again, that was great but my depression was very deep still. Many people say first signs of it working is begining to feel happier, more their old selfs. I've been off work 3 months after my ACDF op which left me in a Clinical depression. Took a while for me to find a med I was ok with. I keep myself fairly busy and just started therapy, but no way could I do my job yet, when I do work requiring concentration I get very anxious or even doing simple things sometimes! Just give your med time to settle into your system, that's what I'm waiting for. I'm into my fourth week and have fingers crossed I'll be feeling happier and on the track back to my old happy self soon. Just be patient, try to relax and let the med do it's work, also help it by doing things you enjoy, don't get caught up in any negative thought spins. Take care

I'm into my 5 week now, but have since lost my job and been under a lot of pressure. We need to be out of our apartment 18th April but I'm hopeful we can move to my brothers house, then continue to get better there. The effect of the Mir continues to make me sleep 30mg, but my anxiety remains, so I'm still taking the Clonotril which I'm beginning to have a dependency for! So with all my problems it's difficult to judge any improvements I have taken 4 therapy lessons which help, CBT. I saw my P Doc last Monday and he wanted me to include Viepax, I took one in the morning and by mid afternoon was completely sedated! My P Doc said to stop the Mir but after 5 weeks invested in it I'm reluctant to stop it in favor of the Viepax. Just to add to my problems I also need to undergo a double hernia op soon! I feel for now I stay the course and continue with the Mir for a few more weeks, if not by week 8 I don't see any improvements then I'll likely try a new med. one thing that annoys me is loud noises, especially children screaming, does anybody else have this problem? My 5 year old has learned to be quiet around me! Lol. How do you deal with it? I think even with all my probs the Mir is helping, I just can't say how much at the moment. Take care out there and I'll write again when I have more news!
